And if as much as a cloud appears in the sky--forget it! It is quite common to see pickup trucks (or SUVs) with Harleys on the trailer heading to events like the Daytona Bike Week, pull over 10-20 miles before the destination so that the owner can triumphantly ride into the venue as if he had just come from New York or wherever. So if your concern is about motorcycle safety, you should worry much more about owners of the crotch rockets--they actually ride their bikes, and at speeds that a Harley rider can only dream of... Me, I am more of a BMW or Ducati kind of guy, but current budget only allows for my Suzuki GS500. Nathan Daniel Ridings wrote: > My wife calls the Japanese cycles: Sewing machines.
